THINGS m QUAKER CITY.

Everybody has been wild, and the con
stituti0n Of the United States is now
better known about this locality than it
was ever before. In fact some Of the
polhilace who participated in this CEN
temnial never knew there was such an
instrument as a constitution, and are now
busiy engaged in studying it up. We
will be blessed with good government in
the future, and the boy or girl who don't
know how to apply this document to the
point they are arguing, should be drum
med out.
TO tell the truth n weak constitution
couldn't have stood the wear and tear Of
the past week. Women got out Of sick
beds to stand on the sidewalk to see the
band 90 by, and rough men trampled
them down To get better sight but still
they rose equal to the occasion, and per-
haps their constitutions, are better for
the shaking up.
The city was in spots beautifully dec
Grated. Chestnut street was exceeding
ly attractive, and was 80 lively that for
tho three DAYS the celebration covered
il was almost impassable. There was a
good deal of jam there, which the police
tried 10 run off with, and many sore
head Was the out come of the clubbing
Tint the officers had TO resort to to clear
the streets.
There was many DISTINGUISHED men
with us. There was the President and
his charming wife. Mr.. Cleveland can't
say word about the hospitality of the
citv of Brotherly Love. He and his wife
